Skye, Counseling Assistance Dog at Walker Elementary, Cypress Fairbanks ISD
“Having Skye on campus has already had more of a benefit than we could have even imagined,” Taylor said. “For example, a fifth grade student was learning how to pet Skye during our training and the student said ‘The first time I met Skye I was sad, but after spending a few minutes with her I was happy.’ That’s exactly why Skye is here: to help lift the mood and help us do what we’re here to do.”
